EURAUD, pending short at 5205 5211.
Pending raised to 5214... see what happens.

Glad to hear it. I tend to ramble on at times. It's always nice to hear when people find the occasional tidbits of value.

Seeing your trades in live time helps a bunch because we can see the chart before the trade triggers and runs for profits. When Darastonius and I first started analyzing your posts and method, there were always questions that were not easily answered in hindsight. I remember we were even originally confused about whether the ND/NS trigger needed to touch the level or just be on the correct side of it and the moving average. Now we know you don't use moving averages and price must touch the level or even better print the entry signal at the level.

Trade was triggered, hit 1:1 (well a little better than) on push 1 so I closed half (later in the day so manage these a bit tighter). Leaving original SL as is to let the second half run a bit.

Worse case at this point is a net BE.

OK so price can back up towards my entry at 5214 and has moved back away over 25 pips so I have now locked in the second half of my trade at BE+ commission.

Will let this run for a bit. Expecting a return to around 5160. Have a hard TP set for now at 5154 which would give me 4:1. Will monitor off and on and will see how things play out. If we start to stall I may close out, we will see.

If it keeps moving down I will trail my SL to lock in some profit.

EURAUD pending short at 5180 (5 min ND up into S, hopefully turned R)... Same target around the 5160ish level.

This trade triggered and just barely hit 1:1 so I closed half, second half hit SL so net BE.

First trade (second half of) is still running at BE.

We had a move back up towards 5200 and have now settled back down sitting at 2:1 so I have decided to lock in at 5199 for 1:1. Still looking for that push into 5154 for 4:1.

Beautiful isn't it. Look at where we were right at NYO on EURUSD... Just screaming "SHORT ME".

Ignore my long call trade earlier... I had myself all confused staring at this tiny screen ...

Ah well got myself straightened out in the end and on the right side.

I was wondering why you wanted to long....I was driving to work so I didn't get to reply.

I had a level mis-located on my phone... had myself all upside down and backwards. Ah well it never triggered and I am now in a couple of good shorts so life is as it should be ...

Or I could lie and say it was just a clever ploy to throw off the lurkers trying to steal trade calls ...

Didn't go down much, just past 1:1 so I closed half, got stopped on the second half (too busy working) so net BE for both sets of shorts.

EURUSD 8033ish shared level (today's zone H and yesterday's zone low). Today's volume right at the days low and we are above the high showing buyers have stepped in and are supporting the market. See if we get a long into that shared level...
